The Rowan Center staff plays a critical role in supporting survivors of sexual violence. Their services include counseling for survivors to process their experiences, advocacy to help navigate present circumstances such as hospital exams and court proceedings, and community education aimed at preventing sexual violence in the future.
With a focus on promoting a safer and more supportive community, the center’s staff delivers age-appropriate awareness and prevention education to various groups, including K-12 students, colleges, corporations, law enforcement, and community organizations.
